Check spark plugs, make sure they are clean and properly gapped.
Keep throttle and clutch cables lubed and adjusted.
Tire air pressure is critical to safety and tire wear.
Check fluid levels, low motor oil, transmission oil, or primary fluid can cause noise and premature wear, and if left unattended, you can burn up your motor, transmission, or clutch.
Low brake fluid can cause a spongy lever or spongy read brake pedal. Once air enters the system it will need to be flushed.
Keep your battery fully charged. We recommend using a battery tender.
We recommend you always carry extra spark plugs, fuses, and a quart of oil
Washing your bike? Stay clear of commercial washing facilities and perform the cleaning ritual yourself. Those high-pressure hoses at car washes can damage bike parts, which are more vulnerable than mechanical parts in cars. Wash and dry your bike in a shady spot, since the sun can create temperature differentials that harm paint and allow water to leave spots.
